    Great Friday night dinner w/ my niece!! Friendly, festive atmosphere and the bar and dining tables are perfectly spaced so the noise level is no problem. We had a lovely table by the huge picture window at the front and our server, Mike, couldn’t have been nicer, more helpful or patient. He was awesome. Love Marcellos any night of the week: delicious food, warm people, great atmosphere, and overall wonderful experience!

    The restaurant was not so busy on a Wednesday lunch time, so the service we received was excellent. Michail, our waiter was very attentive, talked us through the menu and even helped with a wine suggestion. Overall, great food, great service and would highly recommend if in the Bordentown area.

    Food and service was great! But I had made a reservation for a specific reason. Asked for outdoor seating and the front hostess made it so hard to get one. “We can’t merge tables, we can’t seat 5 people outside etc.”

    Came here with some friends. The lobster ravioli was absolutely amazing. The best I’ve had anywhere and let me tell you that any Italian restaurant I go to. I’ve tried it and this is by far over the top. You must try it. Now the steak risotto special is another thing. My husband had it and I tasted it. Steak is not very temder and risotto could be cooked a lil more to get the right consistency. As for drink I had the lemon drop martini and it was the bomb. For appetizers we had calamari and it was just average.

    Service was horrible! My husband and I ordered salad, soup and pizza. My salad came out. My husbands soup came out 15 min later. We got our pizza. I asked for a side of marinara sauce because there was none on the pizza. I had to wait 20 min for the sauce and then they charged me $5 for the marinara. The food was just ok. Nothing to rave about. Horrible experience. We won’t be back. Don’t waste your money.

    Food & cocktails were, as always, wonderful. Because the weather was nice the doors & front window were open & there were small gnats flying around all night which was a bit annoying. Also our service was a bit slow on a bit-so-busy night. Our wine order took forever to be delivered & it was toward the end of the evening…. Overall, however, it was a very pleasant evening.

    My mother and I had a fantastic meal but our service after our meal was served was very slow. We were never asked if we wanted another drink and dessert took nearly 30 mins. The server did recognize this and dessert ended up being on the house which was very kind. I would still come back!!!

    I don't like that a credit card fee was added to the bill. We were paying cash anyway, but restaurants should not pass this cost on to customers. I won't go to restaurants anymore that do this.

    We asked for spices for the olive oil, and the waitress told us to shake the bottle, and so we did, and clumps of gunk came up from the bottom of the bottle but never made it to the top, gross. One dish we ordered included a slice of ham that was really fatty. The clams casino were underbaked, but the clam pizza was delicious. We were seated in the dining room right next to the kitchen door, which was extremely busy and noisy and did not help with our subpar dining experience. This is not my fist visit to this restaurant, but this is my first negative experience there, so I wonder what's happening there? New management?

    The food is always great, but this was a one-off and not the usual service. Our waiter Mike is always great and phenomenal, but the poor guy was doing everything himself. He didn't get any assistance from the two bus boys he had. He apologized to us for having to clear our table, but it wasn't his fault other people during the lunch crew weren't doing their part. Also, half the meals were brought out as we waited for the rest of the food to come out. With that being said, half the meals were cold by then waiting for the rest. We love this place so we will continue to go, but this one time wasn't like our other experiences for all the years we've been going. Go to Marcellos for dinner only, lunch time is hit or miss.

    Marcello’s is a beautiful, modern Italian restaurant and bar located in downtown Bordentown. There is indoor and outdoor seating, as well as seating at the bar. The food is excellent, and there is an ample choice of appetizers, main dishes, sandwiches, and pizza. Service is friendly and prompt.

    Had wanted to return to Marcellos after a Father's Day dinner with a very limited menu, which we enjoyed. If we go again to try the pizza it won't be on a Friday night. The crowd was mostly young and the noise was deafening. We had a great bottle of wine and started with the sticky calamari. We suspect this order got a little off the track. It wasn't crispy and the sauce wasn't sticky it was rather soupy. My husband had the special risotto, it was very good. I ordered veal saltinboca. It tasted right but the meat spinach cheese etc was all over the plate sort of mixed in with the spaghetti. Service was ok but we couldn't quite tell who our server was. It was very busy which might explain the uneven food/service. "Maybe" next time.

    As usual, the ambience and service are excellent. There seems to be a consistent issue of flies in the restaurant, but that may be because of the open air. Also, we weren’t as pleased with our meals as much as other times. Flavors could be improved.

    We had a lovely lunch at Marcello's. The covered roof section has great ambience, the service was fast, and the food was great. When we arrived on a hot summer day, this room was warm, but it had quickly cooled off making for a comfortable experience. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch.
